I have been looking for pictures of my hood on the 70 Bill Jenkins street Camaro.
I have one BW picture from a magazine but that was it. Now I found these.

It is an all steel cowl induction prototype hood made by Chevy Engineering. They were going to scrap it but then gave it to Bill Jenkins for his street Camaro.
I bought it from Bill and picked it up at his shop with a documentation letter from him.

Bill built the 70 street Camaro to use for promotion dates that the real drag car could not make. Bill J was very busy in 1970 and built this Camaro to look like his Pro stocker and used the street Camaro as a show car. He removed the hood before giving the car back. The hood still has the original paint as shown in the pictures.

This car would be a cool find

when i was about 15 years old, i looked at a camaro in baltimore and the guy had grumpy's 70 in his shop. could it have been?

I believe that car was fully tubbed, It may of had aluminum front fenders ( I think he mentioned that) It was almost 20yrs ago.

do you remember if it was a straight front bumper or a split bumper?

The race car has a split bumper front end

I'll have to ask my brother, i don't remember i was with him. Also for some reason I remember a aluminum dash. I could be mistaken thought. I'll talk to my brother this week and let you know.:hurray:

Joe is Grumpy's toy "70" wereabouts known??

Yes the 1970 Jenkins Pro Stock Camaro was found and restored.

It had been updated with newer sheetmetal over the years but was restored back to 1970 race trim

Richie Zul ended up with this car and made lots of changes to it,like change it to a 1974 body style.Richie still builds motors I believe. I have the ad from National Dragster when Richie Zul was selling it...

Dan you said that to me ealrlier today, now hat I think about it ,I think it was that car. I remember something about the taillights from a 74-77 rear pan. Was the car ever in MD? Also spoke to my brother he said the car had the bigger back window 74-81 in it at that time, and a newer front clip. Dan does that correct.

The whole car front and back sheetmetal was changed to 74 and up.The roof and rear deck with 70 rear window stayed too.Not much left of the original 70 car.Found the for sale ad for Richie Zul's 427 1974 Camaro. Ad is in National Dragster issue October 4 1974 page 20.Says Drag Racings Quickest and Fastest Pro Stock Camaro.Division 1 Pro Stock Champion,Guaranteed 9.0 Performance,All latest Equipment.Nice picture of car.Dan
